Services
The Minneapolis facility occupies 4343 Nicollet Avenue South in a building marked with dual signage. Located on the east side of Nicollet Avenue, the property is accessible via I-35W's 46th Street exit. The facility contains an on-site crematory and provides space for casketed wakes, cremation gatherings, and funeral services. Visual documentation shows multiple interior spaces including what appears to be a chapel area and gathering rooms.
The organization emphasizes flexibility, offering everything from simple direct cremations to elaborate celebrations with full event coordination.
Cremation Society of Minnesota has operated across Minnesota and western Wisconsin since 1980. Their Minneapolis location carries the legacy of First Memorial Waterston Chapel, which has served South Minneapolis since 1955. The Nicollet Avenue facility operates under dual signage—First Memorial Waterston Chapel and Cremation Society of Minnesota—reflecting its layered history.
The organization now maintains five locations: Minneapolis, Edina, St. Paul, Brooklyn Park, and Duluth. Their Minneapolis facility sits two blocks west of I-35W's 46th Street exit, then two blocks north on Nicollet Avenue. The building houses an on-site crematory, meaning remains never leave the premises for cremation processing.
Phone availability runs 24/7 for death calls, with in-person hours 9 AM to 5 PM daily including weekends.

Having a parent pass away is such a hard time for families but they made the process so much easier. The pamphlets turned out great. I would highly recommend this option. They were wonderful the day of the ceremony. They took care of everything so we could visit with all our fam...
It was great. Easy to talk to during a troubling time. Fast service. When we picked up our urn, they were so comforting. I plan on presetting up my own cremation.
